Brewers Hold Off Mets 3-2

Eric Young got two big hits before getting hurt and the Milwaukee Brewers snapped a six-game losing streak by holding off the New York Mets 3-2 Saturday night.

With the bases loaded in the ninth inning, closer Mike DeJean got Raul Gonzalez to ground into a game-ending double play. Mike Piazza bounced into a pair of double plays for the Mets, who also wasted a great chance to score in the eighth.

Young homered and doubled for the only hits off rookie right-hander Jae Seo in six innings. Young left in the sixth after aggravating a strained right quadriceps muscle.

Brady Clark's pinch-hit sacrifice fly off Mike Stanton in the seventh scored John Vander Wal to break a 2-2 tie.

John Foster (2-0) earned the win with one hitless inning. David Weathers (1-1) took the loss, allowing two singles and an intentional walk in one-third of an inning.

The Mets, who have lost six of seven, put runners at first and second with nobody out against right-hander Luis Vizcaino in the eighth, but Piazza grounded into his second double play of the night.

With a runner at third and left-handed slugger Cliff Floyd up, Milwaukee manager Ned Yost stuck with Vizcaino, who struck out Floyd.

DeJean pitched the ninth for his fifth save in six chances.

In his first major league start this season, Brewers right-hander Ruben Quevedo gave up two runs on five hits in six solid innings. He only got into trouble in the fourth, when Ty Wigginton followed Tony Clark's 445-foot solo homer with a triple and scored on a single by Timo Perez for a 2-0 lead.

Seo was even sharper, allowing just two runs on two hits over six innings. He struck out a career-high six but also walked two batters in the fourth after issuing just one walk in his first 31 2-3 innings this season.

Young hit a solo homer off Seo in the fourth and doubled off him in the sixth. Young advanced to third on a wild pitch and was immediately replaced by pinch-runner Keith Ginter.

He scored when Richie Sexson's grounder hit the heel of shortstop Rey Sanchez's glove and popped up just high enough that his only play was to first base.

Young is day-to-day.

Quevedo was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday when Shane Nance was optioned to the minors and made his first start since Aug. 15, 2002. Quevedo displayed a new pitch _ a sinker _ that he began throwing during spring training and used it to get Piazza on a double-play grounder in the fifth.

Notes:@ Sexson got his ninth career stolen base in the fourth inning. … Yost said Jeffrey Hammonds (ankle) is close to returning but admits he doesn't know what he'll do when Hammonds comes off the DL. Barring another injury, he'll have a glut of outfielders, including Scott Posednik and Clark. One option might be to replace struggling CF Alex Sanchez.
